Well, despite PGR4, which is a good game, and a few other bits and bobs, I thought it was impossible to drain any fun whatsoever from the Xbox360. Especially since mine is broken. Well - nearly broken. My 360 waits for the least opportune moment, and the declares the disk dirty. Yep - you will be inches from winning the toughest lap on PGR, after trying 36billion times to do so, and then whooops, the old "your disk is dirty" error pops up like a bolt from the blue. Or should that be green?
Microsoft, bless'em, refuse to repair this error under the 3 year rule because it's not the RRoD, it's something else.
So - what am I so happy about? Apparently you can replace the DVD drive yourself -- and it looks like fun! You have to connect the dodgy drive to you PC, dump the firmware, and very other geeky things but ...it actually all seems pretty interesting. So - I'm going to give it a go!
